The Streamer Awards 2026 nominations announced

Nominations for The Streamer Awards 2026 have been announced, featuring a diverse range of digital content creators. In the ‘Best VTuber’ category, Hololive members Koseki Bijou and Gigi Murin have been nominated alongside other prominent figures such as Ironmouse and TheBurntPeanut.

The Japanese indie game ‘Metcha Chameleon’ has also secured a nomination for ‘Stream Game of the Year,’ competing against major titles like ‘Minecraft’ and ‘Fortnite.’

The announcement of the ‘Streamer of the Year’ nominees—which includes IShowSpeed, CaseOh, Jynxzi, Stable Ronaldo, and Joe Bartolozzi—has sparked significant debate among fans on social media. Some viewers have criticized the lack of female nominees in the flagship category, while others are debating which creator's consistency and impact merit the top prize. Winners will be determined by a combination of public voting (70%) and industry judges (30%), with the awards ceremony scheduled for November 12, 2026, in the United States.
